The artillery continued to rumble.
The dozens of small broken boats with fenders in front of Yang Xiao and others were still moving forward, but compared with the previous speed, they were indeed a little slower. However, it didn't matter. Even if the guards were slow, they were still moving forward. Every few steps forward, the soldiers on the rafts behind them would nail a wooden stake into the water, and then several rafts would be thrown into the water.
Wei Yixiao glanced across through the gap and said: "This is the life a man should have, to meet a wise leader, fight on the battlefield, and leave his name in history. If I hadn't met His Majesty, someone like me would be at most a knight-errant."
Yang Xiao on the side said: "That's true, but the knight's power is only temporary. If we hadn't met a wise leader, we might not be alive today, and we might have died at the hands of someone."
"But you and I are both generals now. We have witnessed the rise of the Ming Dynasty. We have accompanied His Majesty in expanding the territory. It is worth it to live like this in this life."
After saying this, Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao both showed smiles that came from the heart.
In fact, it is not just the two of them who have such thoughts. Many people have the same idea. Even people like Zhao Min are very satisfied with the current situation, let alone others.
Zhao Min has never done anything wrong to anyone in her life. The mess of the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty was not caused by her. She had tried very hard to restore the country, but destiny was not on her side.
…
Inside the Ming army camp, Zhao Min took a deep breath, and she looked very intoxicated.
"Zhang Wuji, thank you!"
Suddenly, Zhao Min said something incomprehensible. Zhang Wuji was a little confused, and Zhou Zhiruo beside him was also puzzled.
Zhang Wuji said, "Min'er, why do we have to say thank you to each other?"
Zhao Min said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just want to say thank you to you, just think of it as a brain cramp."
Zhang Wuji still didn't understand, but at this moment, Zhou Zhiruo said: "I think this Mongolian fox is thanking you sincerely."
"She is thanking you for giving her freedom to do what she wants, and you respect her very much, so she wants to thank you."
After hearing this, Zhang Wuji became even more confused: "Zhiruo, aren't these what you said what I should do?"
Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "Maybe it is what you should do, but think about it, since ancient times, how many people can do what you have done."
"An ordinary man, after getting married, does nothing but beat his wife to set rules. But what about you? Although you are a little lustful, when have you ever beaten us? When have you ever set rules for us? You have really done everything you can for us. As for your lust, I have actually let it go a long time ago. You are a capable man. For a capable man, having a few confidantes around him is nothing. In fact, I have long seen that if we talk about a perfect match, a woman like Zhao Min is your perfect match."
Zhang Wuji was confused: "Zhiruo, what are you talking about? What do you mean by perfect match? Aren't you my perfect match?"
Zhou Zhiruo smiled slightly: "I, maybe I'm okay. In fact, I admit that apart from appearance, I am not as good as Zhao Min in other aspects, but fortunately, I am the first one to be with you. No matter what you want to do, I will always be steadfast to you. My heart has never wavered in the slightest."
Zhao Min turned her head and smiled at Zhou Zhiruo: "You vixen, it's rare that you admit that you are not as good as me, but why don't you admit it more directly? Are you as beautiful as me?"
Zhou Zhiruo also smiled slightly: "Let's not quarrel today. I just want to ask you, was what I said just now right?"
"You are thanking Zhang Wuji for the reason I mentioned. You are thanking him for letting you do what you want to do, and you are thanking him for respecting you. Facing such a lustful man, he can really bear it if you don't let him touch him. Only you can do that. If it were me, he would not indulge me like this."
The person who understands you may not be your friend, but may also be your opponent. Zhao Min never expected that the person who could guess what she was thinking would be Zhou Zhiruo.
But what if you guessed it right? Just don’t admit it.
"Hmph, the reason I don't let Zhang Wuji touch me is because my belly is not doing well and I get pregnant all the time. If I were like you, I wouldn't mind having some crazy time with Zhang Wuji every day."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo's face changed slightly. Seeing this, Zhao Min hurriedly said, "Don't, you vixen. What I said just now was from the heart. It's just that you are not me, so you don't know that I am telling the truth. There is a war today. If you want to quarrel, it's not too late to take down Tokugawa Hideyoshi's head."
…
On the other side, Yang Xiao and others were almost reaching the other side of the river.
Tokugawa Hideyoshi watched helplessly as a floating bridge appeared before his eyes, but he was completely helpless. Time was running out. They had just collided with the Ming army yesterday. He had thought that the Edogawa River, a vast river sixty or seventy feet wide, would always be considered a natural barrier no matter where it was. But even this natural barrier was nothing in the eyes of the Ming army.
"General, the vanguard of the Ming army is about to cross the river, and the inevitable battle is about to begin."
At this moment, in the Ming army camp, more than a dozen arrows suddenly flew out from behind the dozens of broken ships with shields.
In an instant, several Japanese soldiers who were closer to the shore were killed on the spot.
Then, Tokugawa Hideyoshi saw two figures jumping up from the top of the broken ship. They looked like people with great cultivation.
"here we go".
…
Ever since Tokugawa Hideyoshi heard the news of the naval battle, he wanted to see what the Ming army looked like. Now, when he saw the real Ming army, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Looking at the two figures that jumped up, Tokugawa Hideyoshi subconsciously reached for the sword at his waist. However, at this moment, Takeda Nobuo held his hand down: "Tokugawa, do you think you are still the so-called guerrilla lieutenant general?"
"You are a general now. The current situation can barely be considered as the beginning of a battle. It is not your turn to take action."
After Takeda Nobuo's words, Tokugawa Hideyoshi's restless heart involuntarily calmed down.
He just waved his hand gently, and then said to the soldiers beside him: "These two are obviously generals of the Ming army, kill them."
